For an even cleverer a*se check this out

Ah so it turns out you lot are 'googling' the answers eh? tut tut!

Cheating berstards,
I solved mine using the ship ahoy method

I think you'll find I didn't compete in this one....

3=(42/4)-(4/4)
4=(4x4)/(42/4)

 

[cmother1]

5= ((4x4)+4)/4

Mr Martian - is exponentiation allowed if it's not to the power of 4?

 

[imamartian]

3=(42/4)-(4/4)
4=(4x4)/(42/4)

sorry PBofD. these have to be disallowed as you can only use four 4's and you've squared using a '2'.

In the version i saw and followed - no!

 

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

5=(42+4)/(42/4)
6=(42-4)x(sq root of 4/4)
